Maintenance of Intact Tissues using Alvetex®Strata
7 Nov 2013Alvetex®Strata is a highly porous membrane presented in a well insert format. This product has multiple applications, including the ability to stably support intact viable tissues during cell culture. This application note demonstrates two novel applications for this new technology 1 ) its use for the stable attachment of neural tissue during live cell imaging; 2) the maintenance of human embryonic stem cell derived embryoid bodies as intact three dimensional tissues and their subsequent analysis.
